Sik Sik Temple

Another new area for exploring is the Sik Sik Temple. This is the largest temple in Hong Kong and has areas for Buddhist, Confucianism and Taoism followers. As you exit the MTR station, there is a beautiful gate and a row of small shops selling incense and other items for those coming to worship.

The Temple grounds are set into a hillside and there are shrines and plazas filled with statuary and small shrines.

The first of the main areas was filled with many people at prayer and the smell of incense.

Each area was unique and we enjoyed seeing the differences from spot to spot.

At the back of the property there was a beautiful garden area with ponds, streams, waterfalls, a hillside pagoda and even a small cave area. It was very peaceful and quiet place to wander or sit for a while.

Before leaving we came across a pair of gentlemen posing for a photo and I just couldn't resist.

It was a lovely afternoon.
